Know exactly what's taught, teaching, and next.

A course outline tells you what you intend to teach. It says nothing about what actually happened in the room last Tuesday, what you're in the middle of right now, or what's quietly slipping two weeks behind. For most teachers that knowledge lives in their head, in a notebook, or scattered across a spreadsheet that's always slightly out of date. The Teaching Tracker turns that invisible, in-your-head state into a board you can see at a glance — and act on.

The idea is simple. Every topic you plan to teach becomes a card. As you teach it, you drag the card across a row of status columns: Upcoming, Scheduled, Teaching now, Taught, Revisit and Skipped. The board is always an honest, up-to-the-minute record of your teaching — not a plan you wrote once and never updated. And because each card carries its own schedule, resources and the class it was covered in, the Tracker doubles as the place you prepare from and the place you teach from.

Crucially, the Tracker doesn't replace your courses, classes, quizzes or docs — it sits on top of them. It reads your existing curriculum to fill a board in seconds, links to the live class a topic was taught in, and lets you attach a quiz, an assignment or a Google Doc to any topic. It's the connective layer that finally ties "what I planned" to "what I actually did" — without making you maintain a second copy of anything.

If you teach more than one batch, or the same subject across more than one term, you've felt this: two cohorts drift apart. Your Tuesday class races ahead while your Saturday group, full of working adults, falls a fortnight behind. You remember covering "passive voice" with one of them — but which? You promised to revisit articles, and you genuinely meant to, but there was no reliable place for that promise to live. By the time you notice you're behind, it's too late to gently course-correct; you're cramming, skipping, or running over.

Spreadsheets don't really fix this. They're fiddly to update on a phone between classes, they don't link to the lesson you taught from, and they certainly don't tell you whether you're on pace. A course outline doesn't fix it either — it's a fixed document, not a live status. What teachers actually need is something closer to how software teams track work: a board where the truth is always visible, moving a card is the only "update" you ever make, and the system quietly does the maths on whether you'll finish in time.

That's exactly what the Teaching Tracker is. Moving a card is the whole interface. From those moves it derives everything else: when each topic was taught, how fast you're going, when you'll finish at this rate, and which topics have quietly slipped past their planned date. You teach the way you always have; the record keeps itself.

The Tracker isn't tied to one teaching style. Because a board can be scoped to a course, a batch, a single student, or nothing at all, it bends to fit how you actually work.

Cohort and batch teaching. Running the same course for multiple groups? Make a board per batch. Each one moves at its own pace, so you can see that your morning cohort is on Module 4 while the evening cohort is finishing Module 3 — and schedule each accordingly, without any mental gymnastics.

One-to-one and small-group tutoring. For private students, create a per-student board labelled with their name. Start blank and add exactly the topics that learner needs, track precisely what you've covered with them, and never lose your place between sessions — even weeks apart.

Exam and test preparation. Coaching for a board exam or certification? Lay out the whole syllabus, auto-schedule it against the exam date, and let pacing tell you early if you won't finish in time — while there's still room to adjust. Use the Revisit lane for high-yield topics you want to circle back to before the test.

Skills, workshops and bootcamps. Teaching a practical skill or running a multi-week bootcamp? Track modules and milestones, attach the recording and slides for each session, and present straight from the board. The Skipped column keeps an honest record of anything you decided to drop, so future cohorts benefit from what you learned.

When it's time to teach, you shouldn't have to dig through folders for the right slides. The Tracker keeps the materials with the topic and lets you present them in place. Click "Generate a presentation" on a card and AI builds a slide deck from the topic — pitched to your learners, with short, speak-friendly points rather than walls of text. When it's ready, a Present button opens it full-screen, right from the card or the table.

Prefer your own slides? Paste a Canva, Google Slides, Gamma, Figma or Loom share link and it embeds and presents inline — we even add Canva's embed parameter for you. Already made a PowerPoint? Upload the .pptx (or a PDF) and it previews through a built-in viewer, so it's presentable without a download. Whichever route you take, the slides live on the topic they belong to — so next term, everything's exactly where you left it.

Plenty of tools can hold a list of topics. What makes the Teaching Tracker different is that it's built around the act of teaching, not the act of planning — and that it does the thinking you'd otherwise do in your head.

It's a status, not a document. A course outline is written once and goes stale. The Tracker is the opposite: it's only ever the current truth, because the only way to "update" it is to move a card as you teach. There's no separate report to maintain and nothing to fall out of sync.

It does the maths for you. A spreadsheet can list your topics, but it won't tell you that at your current pace you'll finish two weeks after the exam. The Tracker computes coverage, weekly velocity and a projected finish date automatically, and flags topics that have slipped — so problems surface while they're still fixable.

It keeps materials with the moment. Most planning tools forget where your slides and handouts live. Here, the deck, the Canva embed, the PowerPoint, the quiz and the recording all hang off the exact topic they belong to — so preparing and presenting happen in the same place, and next term everything is already organised.

It's AI-assisted, not AI-dependent. AI can draft a whole lesson plan or a slide deck in seconds, but you stay in control — every topic and every slide is yours to edit, reorder or delete. The AI removes the blank page; it doesn't take over your teaching.

The Teaching Tracker is a tool for you, not a dashboard for your students. Your boards, statuses, notes and pacing are never shown to learners. The gentle nudges when a topic falls behind go only to you, the board's owner — so you get a quiet heads-up, not a public scoreboard.

It's also built to stay out of your way. Moving a card is instant. Your layout — which columns you keep expanded, which view you prefer — is remembered, so the board opens the way you like it, even after you log back in. Search jumps to your cursor with a single keystroke, and filters let you narrow a long plan to exactly the topics that are behind, or only the ones with materials attached. Everything is designed so that keeping your teaching record current costs you seconds, not minutes — because a tool that's slow to update is a tool that quietly gets abandoned.
